My areas of expertise include Autism Spectrum Disorders and related learning differences. I treat individuals with or without a formal diagnosis who share features associated with ASD and struggle with isolation, interpersonal difficulties, anxiety and depressed mood and employment challenges. Services are tailored to address individuals' specific needs.

Through a strengths-based and client-centered approach, I help individuals use their unique strengths to learn effective coping and stress management tool, improve social functioning, promote adaptive coping, and live life to the fullest.

I use research-informed approaches that include CBT, Solution Focused Therapy, Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, The Gottman Method to couple therapy, and Mindfulness. I am a trained facilitator of Prepare Enrich, an evidence based marriage assessment and diagnostic tool.

I partner with families in their homes or in my office setting. I understand the importance of supporting individuals with ASD in their home environment.
